I assume by getting an AIO you are intending to push OC limits? Get an X370 board, you'll need it if you're going 4GHz+. Stable power delivery is everything when you need to push high Vcore. Pricing of top tier boards like C6H is quite disgusting, but something like the Prime X370-A is still a good choice.

Oh yeah, the 1600X is likely to OC higher, and (arguably) likely to have a better IMC for DRAM OC stability as well.

Bro I also quite incline to get asus x370 prime.. Any idea it's vrm heatsink and what phrase 4+6 something is the best or got better recommendation for Overclocking

personally i'd go for x370 for 6core & r7 chips as d vrm on x370 can take more beating. as for brand, it is really down to personal preferences. for me Asus flagship (ROG) is always a must if u want d best, not sure how their mid tier series (prime) doin thou.

Pai seh bro, been a while upgrading computer.. Normal ram does it mean ddr4 by Kingston and just tally with the Samsung chip set?

Not sure how much have you followed or research on Ryzen and it's RAM compatibility but here's the TL;DR version.

There are a few RAM OEM, most common few are Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron.

Ryzen seems to works better with Samsung B-die RAM to achieve the XMP profile set by manufacturers (Corsair, G.Skills, Team Group, Klevv, etc)

A few of them are the one I mentioned, the Trident Z series that are rated 3200MHz C14 and 3600MHz C16, as apparently Samsung B-die RAM is easier to overclock to their XMP profiles on a Ryzen system. The AMD specific expensive Flare X series from G.Skills also made from Samsung B-die that are guaranteed to hit their rated 3200MHz with CAS14.

However, after the recent AGESA 1.0.0.6 update being pushed to most motherboard, support for Hynix ram to hit 3200mhz is easier but some still need some tweaking on the dram voltage and timing and not as easy as Samsung B-die with just following the XMP profile.

So buying Hynix ram now also not bad. It's almost certain to hit 2933mhz and 3200mhz will need some effort to experiment.

clean up d OC profile, always a good practice to save a stock setting minus d integrated device + some cpu setting, like enable virtualization which is disabled by default + d no of failed oc attempt to 1 (instead of 5)
